Mark this one on the calendar of the Arizona Diamondbacks. This was the night when one of the most lethal teams in the majors was held to one run and six hits by the team with the worst record in the majors.
Part of the credit goes to Mark Leiter, Jr., starter for the Philadelphia Phillies Friday night in Chase Field. Then again, the Diamondbacks were coming off a 7-1 road trip and dropped 26 runs on the Colorado Rockies’ pitching over the final two games of their recent three-game set.
With a deceptive curve ball and fast ball cutter, Leiter handcuffed the Diamondbacks and allowed only five base runners over the six innings he worked.
